FRIED CORNBREAD (SOUTHERN STYLE)

Steps:

• Mix first two ingredients to make a batter --- add more or less water depending on how thick or thin you want your cornbread patties. The best way would be to mix in small amounts of water at a time to get the consistency you want.
• In a skillet or frying pan bring oil up to medium heat and test 1/2 teaspoon drop of batter, You do not want it to fry too fast. I normally cook mine on #6 and then furn down to #5 on my stove. Drop by tablespoons full and pat out with back of spoon to make a pattie. Turn over when bottom is light brown.
• Serve and enjoy this tasty bread!

• In a medium-sized bowl, mix cornmeal, salt, and water together. You'll want the consistency of thick cake batter. If it is too dry, add a little more water.
• In a cast iron skillet, heat bacon drippings and oil until almost smoking. You will know the oil is hot when a few drops of water sizzle when dropped into the skillet.
• Drop 2 tablespoons of cornmeal mixture into the oil and brown until golden crust forms around the edges of the cornbread (about 2 minuteand then turn and brown until cornbread is golden on the outside. Add more oil and/or bacon drippings if the skillet becomes too dry. Remove to a paper towel to drain and serve hot.

FRIED CORNBREAD (AKA HOE CAKES)

Steps:

• 1. Mix together flour, corn meal, and sugar into a mixing bowl. Add egg, oil and buttermilk. Mix with fork until all ingredients are moistened. Batter should be the consistency of pancake batter, so you may need to add a little more milk.
• 2. Heat oil in heavy skillet (I use cast iron). When oil is hot, add a little less than 1/4 cup of batter to the hot oil. Fry on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes. When golden brown, turn and cook other side until golden. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Serve with butter, honey butter or whatever you like.

HOECAKES (FRIED CORNBREAD)

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix together the dry ingredients with a wooden spoon. Add the buttermilk slowly. Mix in the egg, cutting into the yolk with the spoon's edge to help it mix in better. Add the water and fat or oil and stir well. The texture should be like thick soup, so you may need to add more water.
• I like to fry the cornbread cakes in my grandmother's castiron skillet or on a flat iron griddle, but any skillet or griddle will be fine. Heat the skillet or griddle over medium heat and grease it well with the fat of your choice (butter is delicious, but it tends to burn unless you mix it with a little oil). Once the skillet is hot and the fat is sizzling, drop the batter from a 1⁄8-cup (2-tablespoon) measure into the skillet, in batches if necessary.
• Fry the cakes until the edges are bubbling and the centers are set, then flip with a spatula to fry them on the other side until they're done. Like with pancakes, you can't say how long it will take, but the second side always cooks faster than the first. If the cakes seem greasy, drain them on paper towels before serving hot.

FRIED CORNBREAD III

Steps:

• I use a self rising cornmeal mix for this.
• I use about 1 cup of cornmeal mix, about 2/3 to 3/4 cup of buttermilk, and 1 egg.
• You can adjust the amount of milk depending on how thick or thin you would like them to be. And then you just fry them just like pancakes.
• It's really simple. Also, sometimes my mom would add some chopped onion to these. Alicia Goodman

OVEN-FRIED CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, whisk together cornmeal, onion powder, and salt. Add water and whisk well to combine until there are no lumps; batter will be thin and runny.
• Pour bacon fat into the pan, coating the bottom in an even layer. Pour the cornbread batter into the center of the pan, allowing it to spread out untouched. (There will be a layer of bacon fat on top of the batter; this is normal.) Bake for 30 minutes.
• Cornbread is done when the edges are deep brown and gently curling inwards. Remove from oven and pour off remaining fat (which can be discarded or reserved for another use); let rest, 10 minutes. Flip the cornbread onto a flat work surface. Pat with paper towels to absorb extra grease. Cornbread will be dense, rich, and crisp on the edges. Slice into 8 squares and serve with butter (optional, but indulgent!).

FRIED CORNBREAD

Steps:

• Have Olive oil and a bit of butter (I use Smart Balance) heating in a cast iron skillet until hot. Be careful not to get too hot as it will burn. Mix meal, eggbeaters or egg and milk until mixed well. Start out with about 2/3 cup milk, and add more if needed. Buttermilk will make it thicker and 2% will make it thinner, so just judge how much you will need. You don't want mixture too thin. Spoon mixture into hot oil, about pancake size. Cook until bubbles form in the center, like cooking a pancake. Turn and cook on other side until done. Repeat until all batter is used. Makes about 6-7 pancake size pieces. Serve hot. **You can add chopped onions, jalapenos, etc. to the batter before cooking if you want.
